Restricting Buddypress Status Updates (again)

Hello,
I am trying to Restrict Buddypress Status Updates to certain user levels using S2members. I fount this article
http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/restricting-buddypress-status-updates/
but it helps a little but not too much.
Please help me to find where the code would go and exactly what the condition would be. Ive been playing with the buddypress codex for a while now and its not working out. Help!!!!! (please)

Hi Nicole.

I’m not familiar with BuddyPress to tell you where to edit. I’d ask in the BuddyPress’ forums where the template for the status updates is, and then you’d have to edit it to add a conditional there.

This article suggests that is has something to do wth s2members

I remember that thread, and it has to do with s2Member because of the conditionals you’d use, but the template you have to edit is BuddyPress’.

Right! Do you think you could help me with that? S2 works with buddypress right? Someone gave a partial explanation but not a complete one.

You’d need to find what BuddyPress template you have to edit, find the block of code that displays the Status Updates, and then put it inside a conditional. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Advanced PHP Conditionals[/hilite]

I’m not familiar with BuddyPress, so I can’t guide you there. It’s going to be much simpler to ask in the BuddyPress forums what file to edit for the Status Updates block. http://buddypress.org/support/

If this seems complicated, then you may want to post the job for a freelancer to do it for you. You can try sites like jobs.wordpress.net, elance.com or odesk.com.

I hope that helps. :)
